Another New Mexico county has joined a lawsuit to fight the listing of the lesser prairie chicken as a threatened species. Lea County in southeastern New Mexico joined three other counties in the state last week in a federal lawsuit against the U.S. Department of Interior and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service

...

U.S. Rep., Steve Pearce, R-N.M., .. The Fish and Wildlife Services decision to cater to environmental groups and disregard science will devastate New Mexicos way of life, he said. New Mexicans will pay the price in lost jobs, industry, ranching and oil and gas production.

Yes we do have the same stupidity in KS. When experiencing heavy rains recently, EPA attempted to claim excess runoff was "federally protected" under the Rivers and Streams provision.

We notified them that this was certainly not a river, not a stream and not even a creek, it was a ditch that had filled due to heavy rains for three days in a row! They still claimed that there was "protected species living in that water."

I dealt with these guys in the early 80’s and can tell you this is not stupidity this is all about control. In the business I was in we called em Chock Full a Nuts, and they were. They are also very dangerous to what little freedom we still have. They are true believers.

If truer words exist, they have not been heard. People who are stupid enough to confuse a dry ditch with a navigable waterway do not obtain government employment because they are incapable of doing the paperwork, in fact they are all sitting in a corner blowing spit bubbles. The truth is they cannot just come out and say that they intend to wreck your life just for the pure joy of doing it so they have to act as if they are idiots who don’t know Shiite from Shinola and dare you to do something about it.
